"Abstract Space Differential Heavenly Element Formulas, Integral Heavenly Element Formula Extreme Value Solutions: Concepts, Existence, and Other Results," "Nonlinear Heavenly Transformation Techniques and Summary of Properties," "A Nonlinear Heavenly Transformation Technique and the Combination Effects with Common Internal Cultivation Methods," "A Comprehensive Geometry Knowledge System Based on Group Theory," "The Quickest Descent Line and The Theoretical Basis of Swinging Punch," "Calculus and Discussions on Common Mathematical Problems in Sword Techniques," ... Xiang Qi picked up each of the academic papers surrounding Wang Qi and examined them carefully. Indeed, these were all academic papers. Although everything Wang Qi had written was review papers, summary papers, discussion papers, all summarizing and applying the results of previous research without any original development, one must consider this young man's age! Wasn't he just a teenager? A monster! Truly a monster! Writing papers is a process of organizing thoughts. When a cultivator writes down the "conclusion" of a paper, that conclusion would be formally integrated into his own "Law Gate," becoming part of his own comprehension. Thought affects the soul, the soul governs mana, and thus a cultivator's insights can be reflected in his mana. The quantity and quality of a cultivator's papers and monographs are directly proportional to his strength. With this thought, Xiang Qi's right hand flickered out like lightning, her middle and index fingers pointing like a sword, aiming directly at the critical point on Wang Qi's dantian. Wang Qi, whose mind was still mostly occupied with calculations, couldn't react in time and was poked by Xiang Qi. "Zzt zzt," the electromagnetic field around Wang Qi suddenly changed and collapsed, the slight static electricity causing Xiang Qi's hair to stand on end. With the loss of the electric field's support, the floating books scattered in all directions. Instinctively, Wang Qi pressed his hands downward, but as soon as his palms touched Xiang Qi's forearm, they were shaken off by a dark force. After hitting her disciple's dantian, Xiang Qi extended a gentle mana into it. Under Wang Qi's instinctive reaction, the mana within his dantian had already become active but failed to form effective resistance and was forced to clash with the invading mana. Xiang Qi felt like she had poked a hot water bottle; the sensation at her fingertips was soft yet resilient, and the heat brought a tingling numbness that rolled back up to her hand. Xiang Qi suddenly withdrew her hand, "Whoa, your mana naturally carries a hint of the Heavenly Entropy Technique and Heavenly Song features, you've cultivated some flavor." Wang Qi frowned and asked, "Senior Sister, what are you up to?" Xiang Qi lightly shook her hand, using the "Heavenly Object Book" to dissipate the residual force on her hand. The majestic singularity of Heavenly Song and the unparalleled dominance of the Heavenly Entropy Technique, if she didn't manage these two fingers, they would likely be uncomfortable for a while. However, Burning Gold Valley excelled in the way of material property transformations, understanding concepts related to electromagnetic forces, covalent bonds, and thermal phenomena in material reactions, making it easy to neutralize this level of electromagnetism and thermodynamic mana. Yet, Xiang Qi didn't show the slightest displeasure, instead, she looked at Wang Qi with a smile that was not quite a smile, "It seems congratulations are in order before a proper greeting—Little Brother, how does Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation feel?" "Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation?" Wang Qi was startled, "Me? Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation? Are you joking?" Zhen Chan spoke in a strange tone, "Indeed, Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation, you reached it a day ago." Wang Qi still looked confused, "Isn't it said that to advance one must go into closed-door cultivation? I haven't really meditated these past few days..." Xiang Qi banged her head on the table, "Advancing unknowingly... I should have just sat down and written some papers years ago, wasting a few years would be better than building a second-rate Magic Foundation..." "Old man thought you were in a meditative state while calculating, self-sealing your sensory perception, not stopping because your Qi Cultivation hadn't reached Perfection... You really didn't know you had advanced?" Zhen Chan's voice shook slightly. Wang Qi's expression was also odd, "Not crunching an Elixir at the critical moment and shouting 'Let me break through' feels like something is missing..." "Indeed... do all unparalleled geniuses have a screw loose in their teams?" "Sure enough... don't try to understand a monster's thoughts, even if he is a genius..." Both the old man and the young girl muttered in their hearts. After a while, Zhen Chan spoke up, "I told you long ago, even breaking through a minor realm requires desperate effort; how could you breach the final barrier with such talent?" Xiang Qi added, "Moreover, Modern teachings surpass the ordinary in the mysteries of the physical body and the secrets of the soul. The Internal Cultivation Methods have been revised repeatedly, and there are special methods to refine specific acupoints and meridians when encountering impasses in cultivation... Let's put it this way, as long as you have more than half of the Human Clan's bloodline, and the mixed part isn't anything ridiculously alien, you wouldn't face any bottlenecks before the Late Stage Golden Core. What's really refined in the Human World are Mana Quality, Magic Foundation construction, and the quality of the Golden Core." When she paused, Xiang Qi asked another question, "Do you really not feel anything? A breakthrough, this is a breakthrough! A qualitative change triggering a quantitative change! You really feel nothing?" Wang Qi touched his nose and pondered deeply, "It seems... not really. I've been busy solving math problems these past few days." "Simply solving problems could so engross you?" Zhen Chan could hardly believe it, but Xiang Qi nodded secretly. Mathematics had its own beauty. Unlike poetry and painting, this type of beauty was comprehensible to those who understood it, and completely elusive to those who did not. To outsiders who merely watched, mathematics seemed nothing more than a pile of numbers and formulas, the world's most complex labyrinth, only capable of causing headaches. But to those who understood, it exhibited the most ingenious constructions, an external manifestation of wisdom, the most intuitive expression of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth! It was because of this that every disciple of the Wanfa Sect was exceedingly proud, and even gentle individuals like Li Ziye and jesters like Su Junyu were fervent when it came to their practice. Xiang Qi was all too familiar with this sentiment. "But you're harsh..." As she watched Wang Qi gather his books again with the Heavenly Song technique, Xiang Qi couldn't help but be amazed, "These were all written after your return from Langde, right? It's only been fifteen days..." Wang Qi waved his hand dismissively, a look on his face that said, "This is nothing": "They are just summary and discussion articles; I can write one in an afternoon." "Heh heh... comparing oneself to others can be discouraging..." Xiang Qi shook her head, deciding not to compare herself with a monster. She carefully examined the papers, marveling, "Core words, abstract... you even have a conclusion. Is this really your first time writing? You've got the structure spot on." Wang Qi smiled without a word. Papers? Hadn't he written plenty in his previous life? "By the way, Senior Sister, what do you think of these papers?" "Aha ha." Xiang Qi turned her head somewhat awkwardly: "To be honest, I'm not very professional, and I'm afraid my comments might mislead you. When the rich dead devotee arrives, I'll take you to ask him." Pfft, I wouldn't know either, right? Wang Qi stood up and stretched, "That's true. I wrote these papers to summarize what I've learned, and to plan what I need to study over the next six months. That task is nearly complete. Now, I really should go and consult Senior Brother Su about the questions I have on the Mathematics Heart Method for Foundation Establishment."
